This is fucking dope I like it a lot great work

Great guitars, great beat and sounds, good energy and vibes, needs a power vocal

Nice combination of metal and eerie synth.

This was an epic wild journey - loved the mix of electronic elements throughout!

Epic energy. Driving this one home on all fronts. Fair play 🫡🧬🎶🔆

Taking the risk to repeat myself, I am always amazed about the roots and triggers of inspiration in general and in music for me. Sometimes, it’s obvious, sometimes, it’s a mix of a thousands things. In any case, it’s not always easy to identify, but usually funny to recognize! For this song, here are some hints...

Of course, as you can guess from its name, first is the city of Montreux itself… beautifully nestled between steep Alps hills and peaceful lakeside of Lac Leman: local, exotic, relaxing and creative all together.

Then, still talking about this town, less about its landscape and more about its world famous July's Montreux Jazz Festival, it leads to the second inspiration: Deep Purple' Smoke on the Water. Yes, sure, you know the story. If not, you should!

Also, the style of this track has been greatly shaped upon the influence of fabulous @AcuteInflections: yes, I like that "velvety mix of Erykah Badu & Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of her 007 on bass" of those 2 New Yorkers!

And finally, regarding 18:20? I'm sure you will figure it out by yourself...

But, still, the path from the initial idea to the song you can hear now was long. The few basic tones crystallized from a small game I do play to warm up my fingers on the guitar, moving it from warming-guitar-tone-exercise to piano/contrabass based track was pretty fun, but it wasn’t enough. Something was missing and there I got help from Blaž Pavšič, who produced the final version of the track, supplementing it with awesome percussion.

Hope you will find the outcome of this collaboration as nice as I do. You better do, as I can promise it's won’t be the only one ;-)

Hey everyone! "Sanctify" is a song that's very close to my heart. It's about finding peace and healing in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.I wanted to create a track that serves as a sanctuary for the soul, a place where you can escape the noise of the world and find solace within yourself. It's about embracing your inner strength and resilience, even when life gets tough.Through "Sanctify," I hope to provide a sense of comfort and empowerment to anyone who's going through a difficult time. Remember, you are stronger than you think, and you have the power to overcome any obstacle.So, if you're in need of a little sanctuary, let "Sanctify" be your guide. You are worthy of love, peace, and happiness.

Change begins with You

“Lemon Drops & 19 Crimes” is a smooth, intoxicating Afro-fusion track that blends romance, rhythm, and red wine into one unforgettable vibe. With sultry lyrics and hypnotic melodies, Shaun Andrew captures the thrill of a deep, magnetic connection, the kind that hits you like a sweet cocktail of temptation and truth. The verses drip with Nigerian slang and modern flair, painting scenes of slow dances, stolen kisses, and a love that feels both spiritual and undeniable. From the lemon on her lips to the 19 Crimes in his cup, every line invites you deeper into a mood of late-night intimacy and effortless chemistry. Whether you're vibing on a rooftop, riding through city lights, or locked in with someone special, “Lemon Drops & 19 Crimes” sets the perfect tone for romance without rewind.

Verse:
I don’t have a band
Catch another fall
I don’t have a band 
Catch another fall

Oh well thought up
Got over it
Catch another fall

Oh well thought up
Got over it
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh

I don’t have a band
See you in a hole

I don't even have a band :(

You like what you see. 
What else do you need to know?

Since 2007 NASP is a OMA (OneManArmy) a solo project entirely made by me Alexandre Santos born and raised @ Porto in Portugal.
That said, here´s a little global description for my sound:
"The world created by Not a Side Project is a mix of dark and light, war and peace, high peaks and fluid valleys, where silences become loud and the blend of guitar and drums carries the listener in a sublime trip through ominous atmospheres."
So...
Thank you very much for stopping by and listen to my music, and, if you somehow liked something around here just go and take a peek at my links section below and spread some love by following, commenting, messaging or do whatever´s on your mind at the time XD I mean it!
